RELATED PROJECTS
Ryegate Culvert Design-Build Replacement Project - 2015
ECI is the Design-Build contractor to the Vermont Agency of Transportation for this $15.248M culvert replacement project. The undersized and failing existing culverts conveyed the waters of the Manchester Brook (a tributary to the Connecticut River) below the US Route 5 and Washington County Railroad embankments. This particularly challenging project involved replacing the culverts with a new 32-ft clear span opening below the 70-ft-tall railroad embankment and 60-ft-tall highway embankment.
NECR Bridge 35.01 Replacement in Royalton, VT - 2024
ECI contracted with VTrans to replace NECR Bridge 35.01 over Route 14 in Royalton, VT. The existing 26’ clear span bridge was only 12’ 1” above the roadway. Because of the size the bridge choked traffic down to a single lane with no signals and a blind approach from each direction. Due to its low height, the bridge was a high strike-risk, was hit multiple times while ECI was on site, and in the past had been hit hard enough to mangle the outside beams and knock the tracks off alignment. The new bridge is a 125’ steel girder bridge with an improved vertical clearance of 14’ 6” and allowed for Route 14 to be realigned and widened to 30’ from shoulder to shoulder with clear visibility.
